The Gospel, the greatest story ever told, that is hardly ever told. My question is why? The Gospel has become assumed knowledge. Rarely do you see ministers or other believers just sharing the story of Jesus. After all the Gospel has the power to save us all. I don't like to give problems without giving solutions, so here is my attempt to explain the Gospel. To give an accurate account of the Gospel I decided to break it down into a series of post.
Lesson 1 Who is Jesus?
The Old Testament foretold of the coming of the Messiah countless times, Genesis 3:15, Deuteronomy 18:5 just to name a couple. Jesus is the Messiah that the prophets of the Old Testament talked about. Jesus undeniably fits the mold that the Old Testament created. I mean just look at this video click. It is clear through scripture that Jesus is the Messiah, but who was Jesus socially? It was Jewish custom for a man to take on the profession of their fathers. So it wouldn't be a stretch to say that Jesus was a carpenter for most of his life.(Mark 6:3) At the age of 30 Jesus started his ministry proclaiming that the kingdom of God is at hand, and that he in fact was the long waited for Messiah. According to Philippians 2:6-7 Jesus was God himself. Jesus gave up his position as God Just to save you and me. What did Jesus save us from? I will address that in lesson 2
